VS-1445
Vertical Servo Hot Plate Welder
The VS-1445 is a vertical heat platen orientation, servo-electric motion controlled hot plate welding system capable of unparalleled control and ultra-precise welding of parts up to 14" x 45" (356mm x 1143mm) or multiple smaller parts. Customized variants of this model are available.
The vertical servo system's twin motion (left and right) tool mounting jaws allow independent control of collapse/absolute distance, time, force & speed on each part half, both when against heat platen in melt phase and against each other in weld phase. Typical hard-stops found in use on most systems are eliminated.

When compared to horizontal platen systems, vertical systems typically: Allow faster tooling changeovers. Allow easier and more positive operator loading and unloading of the tooling. Ensure more precise part half alignment during welding (less scrap) as no special part-part alignment features must be designed into the parts themselves (required for accurate machine pick-up of one part half on horizontal systems).
